Alex. As a Texan (though born in Oklahoma) I can recal requesting this song be played on KBUT in Crested Butte at Christmas 1997. It made me cry. It's authentic and the line about the boyfriend ("he was a Mexican") isn't meant to be racist but real. They didn't know what to think of him, until he sang Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidaaaaaaad.
